Short-Term Market Outlook

5-day charts (1 bar = 5 minutes) with a 20-period SBV are showing declining SBV oscillator readings at session’s end. Negative money flow on this chart would suggest the possibility of negative trading tomorrow after the market open. 15-day charts (1 bar = 15 minutes) with a SBV(16) are showing negative money flow (declining SBV) as well, thus confirming 5-day chart’s outlook. 30-day charts (1 bar = 30 minutes) with a 13-period SBV are showing declining SBV, however, SBV readings are at high, positive levels on these charts by suggesting that, even if we see negative trading at the market open, it could be short-lived unless we see stronger SBV decline on the 30-day charts.
